Solanke has scored 16 Premier League goals this season, with only Josh King (16 in 2016-17) ever netting the same for Bournemouth in a campaign. A huge 10 of those goals have given the Cherries the lead in a match – the most of a player for any side in the competition in 2023-24, and an all-time Bournemouth record in a season in the division.

Bournemouth make their first change. Kelly has missed most of the season through injury and has made just 15 appearances. He is on at left-back for Kerkez.

WIDE! Another chance comes and goes for Bournemouth! Kluivert pushes the ball past Branthwaite and lofts a cross into Solanke, who flicks a header back to Tavernier. He is free but drags his volley across the goal and wide of the right post. It was a rushed shot.

CHANCE! McNeil plays a one-two with Harrison from a corner, with the former of the two breaking free down the right side of the box. He rolls past a defender and crashes the inside of the post with his strike. The ball then hits Mepham in the middle before Bournemouth clear it behind.
